Jonah 1:3

Jonah Disobeys Yahweh

² “Go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim [judgment] against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me.” ³ But Jonah ran away to Tarshish to escape from the presence of the Lord [and his duty as His prophet]. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish [the most remote of the Phoenician trading cities]. So he paid the fare and went down into the ship to go with them to Tarshish away from the presence of the Lord. ⁴ But the Lord hurled a great wind toward the sea, and there was a violent tempest on the sea so that the ship was about to break up.
